What Are Periodontal Probes?

Periodontal probes are dental instruments used to measure the depth of periodontal pockets, which are the spaces between the teeth and the gums. These pockets can indicate gum disease or other oral health issues. Periodontal probes are essential for dental professionals to diagnose and monitor periodontal probe disease.

Choosing The Right Periodontal Probe

Choosing the right periodontal probe depends on the specific needs of the patient and the dentist’s preferences. Factors to consider when selecting a periodontal probe include:

Material

Periodontal probes come in either stainless steel or plastic materials. Stainless steel periodontal probes are more durable and have better tactile sensitivity, while plastic periodontal probes are more flexible and gentle on the gums.

Tip Shape

The shape of the tip can affect the accuracy of measurements. Some probes have a sharp, pointed tip, while others have a rounded tip. Dentists may prefer one over the other based on personal preference.

Length

Periodontal probes come in different lengths, with some measuring up to 20mm. Longer probes are useful for measuring deeper pockets but may not suit every patient.

How To Use Periodontal Probes

3. Insert the probe into the periodontal pocket and measure the depth of the pocket.
4. Record the measurement and use it to diagnose and monitor periodontal disease.
